About Us:
The Paul Revere Battalion, an Army ROTC unit, was established at MIT in 1917, shortly after the passage of the National Defense Act of 1916. This is believed to be the first ROTC unit in the Nation. During World War I, there were more Regular Army Officers serving in the Army from MIT than from any other school except West Point. Of the 1538 military participants in World War II from the Institute, 1335 were commissioned officers.The battalion now consists of students from MIT, Harvard University, Tufts University, Endicott College, Gordon College, Salem State College and Wellesley College.
The Battalion's history would fill many pages with individual actions of bravery on the battlefield as well as scientific and technical achievements in military laboratories. The history does not stop here, but continues to be made by the men and women of the Paul Revere Battalion whenever the call may come.
Today, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology hosts the best leadership development program in the nation. Through the Army, Airforce and Naval ROTC programs at the Institute, more than 12,000 officers have been commissioned from MIT, of whom 150 have reached the rank of general or admiral.
